“I am Not Dead”, David Karoki Says
Mr. David Karoki, a Kenyan national who has been resident in Stockholm, has told KSB that he is not dead as is being alleged by people he believes are against him. Speaking to KSB on telephone, Mr. Karoki said that he was surprised to learn that rumours are spreading in Kenya-Stockholm that he died long time ago and that his remains were sent six feet under.
“Tell Kenyans who have heard these stories that I am alive and well”, he said. The Kenyan named a group of Kenyans whom, he said, were behind the stories. According to him, stories were spreading that he died during the 2007 post election violence in Kenya.
He said that the rumour mongers were saying that he was killed in Kibera slums after Raila Odinga’s Presidency was stolen by Party of National Unity. Denying the rumours, he said that gossipers who were spreading the false information were acting maliciously.
Sounding upset, he also attacked Kenyans who were spreading rumours that he had been sent to prison for unknown crimes. “The truth is that I have been away for long but I have not been in prison”, he said. I went to Denmark then crossed over to London before travelling to Canada”, he said. He believes that there is a group of Kenyans who do not like him for reasons he does not understand.
Mr. Karoki also took issue with Kenyans who were claiming that he was responsible for reporting paperless Kenyans to police so that they can be deported. He challenged those making the allegations to produce proof or stop telling lies about him. “The truth is that I have not deported anybody and people who are talking like that should take me to a court of law”, he said.
He dismissed those spreading rumours as idle people who have nothing to do with their lives. He was concerned that some of his friends who heard about the rumours may have become worried in the absence of information and assured them that he was very fine and eating ugali as usual.
The Karoki case demonstrates how far some Kenyans can go to damage people’s reputations. It is incredible that Sam Pippo aka Watu Wengine could engage in rumours to the effect that a Kenyan had died when he was actually alive and kicking. KSB takes this opportunity to wish Karoki well.

Jamo were you deporting people together or what? Its shame that you can support him when he was doing search silly action. We all come her to look for greener pasture then someone thinks he is more important than the others. Isnt that he couldnt get peace of mind and he had to run to the countryside. ludvika just after örebro.
Je huyu nikaroki ambaye miaka kadha iliopita alichangisha pesa akisema mama yake alifaki? kama siye naomba samahani, kama ndiye dhambi zako zina fufuka

But remember:-kanua ke mata got allways something 2 say….. I am not saying that he did or didn´t do or say whatever it has been said. Thats something that should be directed to him in personal. Guessing games are for fools. Shame on all of you who have a tendency of believing of everything you hear. But he is my family, and family has 2 stick 2gether throu thick and thin. and to make one thing clear he was nor is running from anything or anybody. is it really so hard to respect other people´s affair? it´s better to stop interfear b4 we disappear..let me make it clear, i dont believe in fear lets join 2gether and chear men we have no time for tears damn.

KSB: Good idea after Sam Pippo na Watu Wengine said that Karoki is dead. Just imagine! Time to show that Davido is alive and kicking… at the Party, boogie lovers could even sing about the “Return of Karoki” and ask Rapper Billy Boy to compose a song!
